@mysteriarch

Yes.. I was just musing a bit on the terms. There's wordplay in #Regrowth in that it also means starting anew i.e. create a wholly alternative system to that of world-destroying #Hypercapitalism

The #capitalism seed sprouted a horrendous meat-eating fungus. Need to replant a new organic system to take over and collectively kindle a seedling to regrow #humanity into healthy #sustainability-first direction. So there's a #future for mankind, and not #extinction.

"Commercial science" is a good term to denounce this shady practice that withholds knowledge and wisdom discovered with public money in order to use it for #HyperCapitalism and its greed fests.

Yes, you #Elsevier & co.

#Disruption is a power hammer under #Hypercapitalism that involves rug pulling, a key tenet of this system, whereby own benefit prevails to any negative externalities. Ruthlessness is a ROI maximiser here, and the toolbox is full of vices.

#Evolution is a gardening rake under #commons control that involves nourishing mutual value, a key tenet of this system, whereby opportunity and benefit fosters natural cohesion. #Humanity is a growth factor here, and the toolbox our #virtues as human beings.
